lexicon Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 I really like the look of him. Another good 45 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Has the same defensive issues as cash - over aggressive, not amazing judge of the ball, poor positional sense. But he's miles ahead 9f him going forward. Would much prefer him to cash if we aren't starting Konsa at rb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the criticism of Cash is ridiculous, he's been a solid player for us in the PL for several years, you'd "much prefer" an 18 year old who looked OK against Walsall? I thought Kosta looked really, really good for an 18 year old but he has a long way to go to prove he is a first choice starter at PL level, which is a level Cash has proven himself literally over 100 times 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a premier league player but his indecisiveness going forward hurts us when we are the superior team and his lack of awareness and positional sense hurts us when we are playing equal opposition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vazquez Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Yes, Kosta looks good going forward, but needs to improve defensively. Cash at this moment is still far better player and will be the first choice (or Konsa in some games). Kosta has great future though, he just needs to learn to play in our high line and also improve protecting the ball in posession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Has looked up for it in both friendlies. This is where the coaching will come in, he clearly has the physical attributes to become a top player, it's absorbing the knowledge and using it. That's what will improve him.no end. He is young and will only get better both positionally, tactically and decision wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Great to see him feature in two main photos today from the US tour today. Clearly we have big plans for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted July 28 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted July 28 Three goes at it so far and he hasn't put a foot wrong. He's calm, he takes responsibility, he's physically strong and quick, positionally good and decent on the ball. If he is what he looks like in pre-season, we've struck gold. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 (edited) he looks like he has all the attributes and hopefully will develop in to a top player for us. He also looks a little rash and hot headed defensively, which gets him turned or played over too easily at times, possibly partly due to poor positional sense also. Only 18 ofc, looks quality for his age, a bit of a rough diamond. Edited July 28 by MaVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watched a lot so far, only highlights, is he good enough so we don't have to play Konsa there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might well be - but, we've seen three (half) games of him against a lower level of opposition, there's a lot to prove yet. He looks really, really good though - other than Rogers, he's been the standout player of our pre-season so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's behind Konsa and Cash for the position. He will get some game time though and if he's good enough we'll see more of him 2nd half of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel with Maatsen and Cash in fullback Pau and Konsa are a little exposed as a pair. Depends on opposition and who we play in CM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
